No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

Yangyang listed them one by one, only to see that Old Madam Xue's face was dull and a little uneasy, "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Random? Is there anything more ridiculous than a grandmother wanting her granddaughter to be a concubine?" Yangyang suppressed her anger and said, "Then can Mr. Chen from the accounting office bring the account books over?"

Seeing Yangyang speaking so confidently, Aunt Xu at the side also lost her mind and lowered her head to chatter with the old lady.

The old lady glared at her fiercely.

But seeing the puzzled and questioning look on the left prime minister's face, he said to Aunt Xu,

"Go, call Mr. Chen and tell him to be more careful and bring the account book over!"

Then he looked at Yangyang calmly, "Yangyang! When can you make your grandmother and father stop worrying about you?"

"Speaking of which, this account book can be seen by anyone? I will make an exception today to prevent you from being suspicious all day long."

Yangyang's knees were a little sore from kneeling. If she had known, she would have tied the "easy kneeling" strap today.

This might have been really "too difficult" in ancient times.

After a while, Mr. Chen was led in by Aunt Xu, looking timid, holding an account book in his hands.

A thin middle-aged scholar kneeled in the middle of the hall, holding up the account book.

"Old Madam, Sir, I have been diligently looking after the daily expenses of the mansion. If there is a mistake in this account book, I am willing to be beaten and become a cripple! I don't want to be wronged!"

A man, crying, how did he try to please the old lady? Yangyang was puzzled.

"Please hand it to the Lord and let him take a look. We will not wrongly accuse you!" Old Madam Xue pointed at the Left Prime Minister. Nanny Xu accepted the order and took the account book and handed it to the Lord Left Prime Minister with her head down.

Seeing the left prime minister flipping through the book and taking a closer look, Old Lady Xue took a sip and said, "Zheng'er! You must read it carefully, and show it to Yang girl later!"

The left prime minister roughly flipped through it, closed the cover, and respectfully bowed to the old lady,

"Yangyang is still young, and she fell down again yesterday. She certainly didn't mean to trouble her mother, she just wanted to make a scene to vent her anger. Mother, please don't blame her!"

The old lady's face turned red after hearing this. "Zheng'er! You've seen it carefully. I don't want to make trouble with Yang." Then she looked at Aunt Xu and said kindly, "Give the account book to Mr. Chen!"

Mr. Chen, who was timid just now, immediately raised his head when he heard this, "Madam, is there anything wrong with the account book? If not, how can I bear this unjust accusation?"

The old lady looked embarrassed. "Mr. Chen was born a scholar, and he has integrity. So..."

Yangyang was ashamed and said first, "Mr. Chen turned out to be a scholar. Yangyang is really short-sighted."

"No, no, I don't dare. The young lady doesn't see me very often. I can't let the young lady get embarrassed and get punished, right?"

What a dare you have! I’m afraid you dare very much!

Yangyang suddenly realized what was going on. Seeing that Old Madam Xue seemed to be in control of the situation, she said aggrievedly, "Didn't Grandmother just say that you could show the account book to your granddaughter?"

"Then let's take a look!" Old Madam Xue gestured to Madam Xu who was holding the account book.

Aunt Xu handed it to Yangyang with an unhappy look on her face, perhaps wanting to see what kind of joke Yangyang would make.

Yangyang read three or four pages, then closed his mouth with a smile on his face. "The account book is a real account book."

Madam Xue calmed down and said, "Isn't that right? Girl Yang, look at what a fuss you've made!"

Mr. Chen felt even more aggrieved and wanted to cry and complain, "Xiaosheng..."

Yangyang smiled even more happily.

"Sister, you can still laugh? Mr. Chen still needs to apologize?" Xue Qingqing didn't understand anything, but she was very good at adding fuel to the fire.

"I said this account book is a real account book, but it is not the one I saw yesterday? This book is just the Yin book within the Yin and Yang book, for accounting, right?" Yangyang glanced at Mr. Chen who was about to speak. At this moment, the expression on his face was more than just timidity.

"What evidence do you have? Father just looked at it and thought there was no problem?" Xue Qingqing glared at Yangyang, then looked at Zuo Xiang.

Zuo Xiang was also puzzled, "Yangyang, what you said is..."

"Of course." Yangyang looked doubtful again, "Mr. Chen, the old lady said that you were a scholar before, so can I ask you a question?"

Mr. Chen lowered his head, feeling even more uneasy. He didn't know why Yangyang was still asking him questions. "Miss, please go on?"

"There is a rule in the country of Dapu that scholars do not have to kneel when meeting an official. Why did you, a man of integrity, kneel to my grandmother and father?" I really have to thank myself for being familiar with the laws of Dapu, otherwise I would not have thought of the following loophole.

"Young man, this..." Mr. Chen lowered his head even lower this time.

Xue Qingqing didn't have the patience. "Just tell me the evidence. Why are you beating around the bush?"

"Evidence!" Yangyang aroused everyone's curiosity. "Yesterday, I visited the accounting office at night!"

Zuo Xiang, "What?"

"What!" Old Madam Xue gritted her teeth and felt that Yangyang was too unruly. Madam Xu next to her also looked like she was sharpening her knife.

Xue Qingqing was even more straightforward. She was already very excited to see how Yangyang would be beaten. "You went to peek?"

"I haven't finished yet," Yangyang glanced at everyone, "When I walked in, I found a pile of account books on the table. When I opened them, I could hear some slight rustling sounds."

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but later I thought that Mr. Chen had left a backup plan to prevent someone from peeking inside, so he put a thin layer of wood ash inside. It is indeed invisible at night, but if you look at it in the daytime, any marks will be revealed if it has been touched!"

"But it's strange. They knew there was something wrong with the account book, but they left it there. If they said they weren't worried about someone looking at it, why did they tamper with it?"

After all the talk, Xue Qingqing was still confused. "Sister, what exactly do you want to say? Don't waste time. Are you deliberately delaying and waiting for the time when father is going to work so that you can get away with it?"

Yangyang didn't take Xue Qingqing's words to heart. "Until just now, I finally figured it out!"
